Plant description
Long, slender shoots create a distinctive (and fun) moptop-like effect, which in time will slowly spread to form a flat-topped green mound. Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Filifera Nana' makes a handsome, low-growing specimen for the front of the border, and could also be planted en-masse to form dense year-round ground cover.

How to care for Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Nana:
Plant slow-growing, dwarf Chamaecyparis cultivars in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or light shade, and avoid waterlogged conditions. In late winter, apply a generous mulch of compost or bark around the base, keeping it clear of the crown to prevent rot.
These plants need little to no pruning, but any uneven or wayward shoots that spoil the shape can be trimmed back in autumn to maintain a neat, symmetrical form.
